[font=Trebuchet MS, sans-serif] CV 620 5-4 (  CT)  (5-5)[/font]

[font=Trebuchet MS, sans-serif] PL 600 5-4  ( WEST SH) (5-5)[/font]
[font=Trebuchet MS, sans-serif] CH  540  4-5 (JST) (5-5) --- ELIMINATED WITH A LOSS[/font]
[font=Trebuchet MS, sans-serif] HC 490 4-5 (WILL) (5-5) --- ELIMINATED WITH A LOSS[/font]

[font=Trebuchet MS, sans-serif]I'M STICKING WITH none of the teams battling for the 8 seed gets to 6 wins. (The best shot lies with PL if they can knock off a 3-6 West Shamokin team.)  Otherwise if CH upsets Johnstown, which is a good bet, the Heights would get the 8 seed.  If CH loses to the Trojans, it will come down to power points between CV, JV, PL, HC.  My pick is CV.[/font]

[font=Trebuchet MS, sans-serif]My Picks are[/font]
[font=Trebuchet MS, sans-serif]1 BG[/font]
[font=Trebuchet MS, sans-serif]8  CH or CV[/font]

[font=Trebuchet MS, sans-serif]4 PORTAGE[/font]
[font=Trebuchet MS, sans-serif]5 BA[/font]
[font=Trebuchet MS, sans-serif]=======================[/font]

[font=Trebuchet MS, sans-serif]2 PM[/font]
[font=Trebuchet MS, sans-serif]7 NC[/font]

[font=Trebuchet MS, sans-serif]3 MV[/font]
[font=Trebuchet MS, sans-serif]6WH  (COULD BE A SLEEPER IF THIS IS THE WAY IT PLAYS OUT)[/font]

[font=Trebuchet MS, sans-serif]Let me here your picks 1-8

Clearly you understand how the seeding formula works better than me, but I'm not sure I understand how PM can overtake Mo Valley if they both win out which seems likely?  As far as the 8 seed goes...  It's nice that all these teams have something to play for at least, even though it won't matter because they will get crushed.  Making playoffs is a nice accomplishment and experience for the underclassmen and seniors as well...  As I said last week, it won't be PL, they are missing all their offensive threats due to injury.  I bet every team loses except Homer this week...If what you say is true, and Homer can catch CV, then I'll take Homer.... If not, CV it is...[/font]

MV currently leads by 30 points and assuming both win, would still be ahead by 20 points before factoring in opponent wins in Week 10. MV would get sure 10 points from Bellwood (PO), Mt. Union (PV),  and the winner of Claysburg/So. Hunt (beat both). Also possibly more from toss up games: (Glendale/Marion Center and Williamsburg/Homer-Center). Not counting the toss ups that puts MV ahead by 50. PM would need 5 of the following teams to win just to tie. 
Homer-Center (vs Williamsburg)
Northern Cambria (vs Northern Bedford)
United (vs Farrell)
Marion Center (vs Glendale)
Blairsville (vs Curwensville)
Ligonier Valley (vs Central)
Purchase Line ( vs West Shamokin)

United and Blairsville would seem to be severe underdogs meaning the other 5 all must win. Possible, but very unlikely.
